Jessica Colotl is an undocumented immigrant to the United States whose 2010 arrest for driving without a license and possible deportation called attention to the issue of illegal immigration. Colotl (born ) was brought from Mexico by her parents without valid documentation into the US when she was either 10 or 11 years old. Colotl became the center of debate over immigration policy, including the enrollment of non-citizens in state universities and discussion of Immigration and Nationality Act Section 287(g) which allowed police to turn her over to immigration enforcement. Colotl's arrest took place during debate over immigration law as the state of Arizona had recently passed a law allowing police to ask for proof of legal residency from anyone they have reasonable suspicion against for being an illegal alien (race may explicitly not be a factor in deciding reasonable suspicion), and have already stopped for some other crime. Colotl's case received national attention. Proponents of both sides of the immigration debate rallied around the issue, which became a 'flashpoint' in the intense debate over immigration. Colotl was granted a temporary stay of deportation and was allowed to work, but that status was stripped in May 2017 when she was not allowed to renew her status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). She is suing the government, arguing that hers is being treated as "a test case to revoke DACA," and that the government is "exceeding its discretionary authority". Background Colotl's parents brought her without proper documentation to the US from Puebla in southern Mexico when she was 11 years old. After graduating from Lakeside High School, she enrolled in Kennesaw State University in the fall of 2006, majored in political science, and was set to graduate in fall of 2010. Colotl was one semester away from graduating when she was arrested. In Cobb County, where Colotl attended Kennesaw, police coordinate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enforce immigration law due to the Immigration and Nationality Act Section 287(g). State and local officers are allowed to act on behalf of immigration authorities because of 287(g). Arrest and charges Colotl was pulled over by university police on March 29, 2010, for "impeding the flow of traffic," and did not have a driver's license, only an expired Mexican passport. Colotl was arrested the day after the police pulled her over. She was transferred to a detention center in Alabama
